Merrick Garland just left Josh Hawley in a smoldering heap

54. He, Cruz, and the entire GOP bruised our democracy on January 6th.

And they will continue to batter it, seeking to open the wound wider until it is unsealable and democracy will just bleed out with a groan and a sigh.

If Biden manages -- and God bless him for trying -- to stop the bruising, to push it back, and then to re-assert a strengthened “democracy” as the guiding principle, the true strength of our nation, he will deserve a monument akin to Lincoln’s.

But the plutocratic fascists rule both the propaganda networks and the unwashed mob of the “ill-educated.” Those networks continue to lie with impunity, and that mob is still out there, awaiting further instructions.

Biden’s job is monumental, as monumental as Lincoln’s, in my opinion. Virtually every Republican voter feels he should not be president, that Trump should continue to hold the reins of power. And the GOP Senators and Representatives in Washington -- save for a very small number -- all want Biden’s election thrown out so that they can retain the power that enables them to enrich themselves and their donors.

Interesting times.
